Ways To Help Make Halloween A Hit At MPA!
The MPA PA will be hosting a costume drive in anticipation of Lower School Halloween celebrations on October 31. All MPA families are welcome to donate new or gently used costumes from October 20-30. Donation bins will be located at Doors 1 and 7. Costumes will be displayed for families to “shop” in the atrium by the second and third grade classrooms from October 21-31.
Ready to make the Lower School Halloween Party a spookin’ good time? Sign up today to volunteer with a variety of activities during students’ P.E. time between 8:30 AM-2:20 PM. Parent volunteers are welcome to stay for as little or as long as they can. We need all the help we can get!
